Swakopmund - a traditional Ex German City at the West coast of Namibia
The city itself has no mainstreet. The center itself has german names like "Post Strasse, Kaiser Wilhelm Strasse. A lot of hotels, restaurants, bars and souvenir shops. Touroperators are offering excursions to the Skeleton coast and Kaokaland
The architecture is special. At the Bismarck Strasse, the Woermann Haus (1904) you will find a previous trade center of the Damara/Namaqua trade union, an important trade union before the first World War as trade route between Hamburg and South Africa.

HORSCHECK Sun Feb 17, 2008 10:47 UTC Luc, brilliant photos here. I especially like the intro pic. Swakopmund is of course well known here in Germany. Have a lovely Sunday.	VeronicaG Fri Nov 30, 2007 17:15 UTC Unusual architecture featured in your first tip. The sandstorm in your opening pic looked pretty daunting--hope it didn't follow you very far in your travels!
sachara Fri Apr 27, 2007 22:02 UTC Luc, the picture of the sandstorm looks spectacular. It was an odd experience to find this German architecture and atmosphere in this corner of the world.	acemj Sun Jan 21, 2007 16:28 UTC Wow, that's quite a sandstorm. A little bit of Germany in Southern Africa is funny to see. Great pics of the people.
